Your fingers gripped my arms
Pressing daggers
Into my heart
Yet I did not scream
You nearly crushed me
With your weight
Bearing down
Yet I did not fight
You ravaged me
Tore open my soul
I bled
Yet I did not run
You had no clue
Of the mess you
Left
Yet I did not tell
Your life continued
While mine stood still
Frozen
Yet I pretended to live
You were no longer in my mind
Yet you tainted my thoughts
About myself
About others
You did not know
The extent of the damage
I did not know
The extent of the damage
But God knew
He came to me
Chased me down
Pursued me
Unrelenting
He did not let me rest
In my complacency
With Him
– I screamed
– I fought
– I resisted
– I ran
But He wouldn’t let me go
He bore down on me
Until I broke
And then!
And then
He rebuilt me
He revived me
He restored my soul
He gave me LIFE
Where there was only death
He loved me whole
I am strong now
You are weak
I forgave you
I wanted you to know
I came to you
And you
Felt bad
But your empty apologies meant nothing
Redemption came
But not from you
You will never know
You will never “get it”
But God does
His love is my peace
